RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:

Dear Birthmother,

We’re so honored that you’re taking the time to get to know us. We hope the words and photos you see here reflect the life we’ve built—a life rooted in deep friendship, plenty of laughter, and a whole lot of grace.

We can’t know exactly what’s on your heart right now, but we do know the love it takes to make a decision like this. That love is something we would carry and honor every single day. If we are chosen to be your child’s parents, they will grow up surrounded by love, safety, laughter, opportunity, and endless encouragement to become exactly who they are meant to be.

From the very beginning of our relationship, adoption has been our first choice for growing our family. It’s not a second option or a backup plan—it has been in our hearts since we first started planning our lives together. Everything we’ve sacrificed and accomplished has been in anticipation of this. We truly believe the life we’ve worked so hard to create has brought us right here, to this moment, and to you.

We see you not just as someone making an adoption plan, but as a mother showing the deepest kind of love. We hope and pray that whatever you decide, you find peace, strength, and comfort in the days ahead.

With love,
Tia and Matthew


Home

Our Home

Step outside our front door and you’ll likely hear the sound of children laughing. Our street is full of families from all walks of life, with neighbors who look out for one another. Kids ride bikes, borrow tools, and fill the block with energy and joy.

Our neighborhood feels like a small town tucked inside a big city. Within walking distance are parks, coffee shops, ice cream shops, and even an aviary. Just behind our home is a popular park—the perfect place for little ones to play, explore, and grow.

We’re also fortunate to have another home in Arizona, which offers the same sense of comfort while giving us the gift of visiting family and enjoying a change of scenery. Both homes are filled with love, laughter, and community, and we can’t wait to share them with a child.

Our Extended Family

Being with Tia’s family feels like stepping into a place you’ve always belonged. Her mom, Rhonda, is graceful and composed, with a quiet gift for making every gathering feel effortless. She’s the one planning games, cooking something amazing, and ensuring everyone has what they need before they even ask.

Tia’s four brothers each have their own personalities, but all share the same mix of artistry, intelligence, and athleticism. They fill a room with music, laughter, and just the right amount of friendly competition. When they visit, the house comes alive in a way that’s hard to describe but unforgettable once you’ve experienced it.

Our closest friends and extended family fit seamlessly into this circle, showing up for the fun moments and the hard days alike. This is the world we’ve cultivated—a community grounded in love, joy, and support—and it’s a world we cannot wait to share with a child.
